Topshop

Thanks to Summer’s penchant for all things Seventies, suits have been witnessing a revival of late. After all, nothing says 1970s swagger like a Bianca-Jagger inspired two-piece. Whether you’ll be wearing yours white, wide-legged and belted, or a la Saint Laurent and super skinny; there’s a suit out there with your name on it. Spotted on the Autumn/Winter […]

There’s nothing like a beauty roundup, to get you ready for the season ahead. Unlike seasons before, Autumn/Winter ’15 was neither minimal nor extreme, but somewhere safely in between. As always kohl liner featured heavily, as did fashion’s penchant for purity – with perfectly prepped faces and groomed and full brows, taking centre stage once […]

I fell in love with fluffy shoes in the memorable episode in SATC in which Samantha convinces Carrie to buy fluffy mules to spice things up with Berger. I don’t know if it’s my recent visit to the boudoir room at the V&A’s Shoes: Pleasure & Pain exhibit, or the images of Rihanna in varying […]

It’s bank holiday weekend and even though BBC says it will be raining I refuse to accept it. I will be in a pub garden somewhere with my sunnies on sipping on a cold pint of cider and black (I’m a classy bird!) Wherever you’ll be, I think this four day weekend calls for a […]

If you’re looking for Boxing day sales inspiration it doesn’t get much better than Anja Rubik‘s shearling coat. Shearling crept onto the catwalk this season at Prada, and shows no signs of going anywhere soon, thanks to the Pre-Fall collections of Calvin Klein, Burberry and Gucci. I literally fell in love at Coach on Bond […]

Rihanna stunned last week, top to toe in Altuzurra SS15 pink gingham, but it was her uber dark red lips that caught our attention. I’ve been raving about berry lips since I got my hands on Topshop’s Beguiled years ago and it seems that every winter without fail we fall for the mysterious hue. Perhaps […]

Perhaps I’m being inspired by my new sixties bob, or the AW14 shows of Paris, Milan and London have sub-consciously infiltrated my brain, but either way, I’m feeling very retro. And it seems its not just me. The High-St is playing host to more polo necks than I’ve ever seen; and what better to pair […]

When it comes to winter nails nothing beats a classic red, but there are only so many shades of rouge you can play with before boredom hits. Metallic nails are nothing new, but admittedly I was a little late to the game, mainly as I had no idea where to start. Thankfully Topshop have come to […]

Halloween is over, Bonfire night is looming and Christmas is on its way. I think it’s fair to say that winter is finally upon us. And to be honest, I’m glad. I can finally put down my tinted moisturiser and cream blush and leave that wholesome summer look behind. It’s time for thick scarves, tights […]

Gwyneth Paltrow is famous for many things: Sliding doors (classic), that oscars speech (hilarious), Goop (admirable but depressing) and the much mocked ‘conscious uncoupling’ statement (embarrassing). But what I know and will always love her for is Margot. I watched the Royal Tennenbaums on a flight to visit my family in Hong Kong, upon landing […]

Mascara, like a great holiday, is an eye opener, and with autumn upon us there seems no better time to get out of the no make up beachy phase and fully embrace a full face. Even if you’re not a fan of a full on look, mascara is the one thing most of us swear […]

There was a time when freckles were the farthest thing from a fashion statement, the reserve of ruddy faced school boys and girls. They’ve been a longtime obsession of mine, perhaps because they are so symbolic of youth, or the one thing I could never naturally attain. I never could understand why people hated their […]

Ok so this isn’t exactly a Campaign in the true sense of the word, but the images of socialite Mary Charteris modelling Ashish‘s newest collection for Topshop, are working Blush up into a frenzy that only a Balmain campaign can. In anticipation of the Ashish x Topshop launch on May 29th (only 9 […]

Last night saw the much anticipated return of Kate Moss for Topshop. The Supermodel and her super friends pretty much shut down Oxford Street as thousands of fans went to sneak a peek of Moss and her latest Topshop offering. We’ve all seen the pics online, of the fringed dresses and jackets that have been […]

Spring is (kind of) here and it’s time for sunburst lips to take centre stage. Tropical matte orange is one of the summer’s biggest beauty trends, thanks to the Brit boys at Rag & Bone. It’s a one size fits all colour, no matter your skin tone or complexion, there’s a shade to […]

Whether stranded on a desert island or packing for a holiday, one of my must-have products is a black kohl eyeliner. This modest, unassuming pencil, holds the key to so many beautiful, bold looks. The most notorious perhaps is the post-party, morning-after look demonstrated at the Topshop Unique SS14 show. Inspired by the Ibiza party girl, Topshop‘s offering was a daring -but welcome- contrast from the fresh faced trend […]

When I first started buying make-up I was advised to always use natural brushes, mainly because they lasted longer. Natural brushes are great and to be fair, the ones I have bought have lasted for years. They’re easy to care for- you just need to wash them regularly with shampoo (although I prefer face […]

Puerto Rican Supermodel Joan Smalls, stole the show at the VMAs (well that is until Miley Cyrus attempted to pull a Rih Rih/old school Britney with Robin Thicke). As we’ve been inundated with celebrity holiday pics, it was nice to see someone ready for winter, and Joan made the case for Autumn/Winter make-up an easy […]

The Met Ball is undoubtedly fashion’s biggest night of the year, mostly thanks to its Queen Anna Wintour. The past few years have seen everyone from Prada to McQueen as the evening’s focus, this year was all about punk. Not everyone got the memo, with Nicole Richie channelling The Little Mermaid’s Ursula and others […]

Ever since Chanel’s Greige blew-up, nail varnish has become as much of a fashion statement as a Christopher Kane tee or Alex Wang bag. Every season there is a new shade or a new style to adopt, as beauty lovers scamper to experiment with nail art, wraps and stickers. I was beginning to think that […]

As the end of the month looms, I know it really is almost only 25 days til Christmas, and I have no idea where to start. Presents? Pampering? Prepping? It’s a veritable maze and universally accepted mission, but what definitely helps when that moment of unwrapping approaches, is the sight of something you actually want, […]

Christopher Bailey is most definitely on to a good thing with Burberry’s latest faces: Jourdan Dunn And Cara Delevingne. The brand who has had Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson and Agyness Deyn as former faces is known for nurturing rising British beauties. Both Cara, who was recently named British Model of the Year 2012, and Jourdan, […]

Rih Rih looked fittingly tropical as she shopped with friends in Sardinia this week. The singer brought back the visor, teaming it with a pineapple printed Topshop romper, sweatshirt waist-tied sweater, nude platform sandals, and a crochet shopper. Sporting a curly high ponytail and tinted aviators, the Bajan beauty has set the bar for summer […]
